Changing the torsion bars themselves has no more effect on alignment than changing out a shock or putting taller tires on. Which means, no effect at all.
Just reread XSAL's post. He did install A-Arms, and so should have an aligment. I didn't catch that when i read it before. Doesn't change the argument any though!

Currently my Xterra has stock t-bars (I had to put them back since new ones didn't work out). So, I do plan to get the alignment done since a-arms were replaced, and the front end sits higher now.
I guess my question wasn't clear enough, but it was if I needed another alignment when simply only t-bars were replaced and no change in the ride height.
Thanks for answering my question, everybody.
I think I'll get the alignment now with stock t-bars, and just replace them with new ones later on.
